These components enable DelDOT to quickly mobilize our employees and equipment and get a head start on approaching storms.

You mean going outside is too low-tech for them? How about watching the local weather on TV? You don' need no stinkin' "sensor" to know if its snowing and some of it is getting on the roads....how about asking the State Police for their first hand, on-the-scene conditions information? All those indicators listed (barometric pressure, wind speed, etc., are EASILY found from other, less tax-intensive sources. WHO comes up with this crap?
